“The teachers are fantastic and extremely helpfu

“The teachers are fantastic and extremely helpful. I really valued their knowledge and how they could share their own experiences with us. Their enthusiasm for the subjects really came across which kept me interested and eager to learn more.”
After being put on furlough from her job as a car sales executive during the coronavirus pandemic, Joanna Burgmans spent nearly every day with horses and decided it was time to change career, so she applied to study an HNC in Equine Studies. A year later, she has graduated with a Pass with Distinction and been awarded the SRUC Prize for best first year student in Equine Studies.
Joanna is now working as a groom/work rider at Hansbury Stud in Cousland and is also planning to continue her studies with the Scottish Racing Academy and Borders College doing a course focused on racehorse care. #SRUCGraduation

“Most teachers are always trying to help you to

“Most teachers are always trying to help you to achieve your grades. They are also really friendly and that makes you feel at home. This was especially important for me as I come from a different country.”
Inés Isern del Barrio originally studied Environmental Engineering in Spain, which included courses in botany and field studies. However, it lacked the creative focus she was looking for and while staying in Edinburgh, she came across the Garden and Greenspace Design course at SRUC. Three years later, Inés is graduating with a BSc degree and has already been offered a job as a garden designer in Chichester. #SRUCGraduation
